Steam trickled down the walls as fur plopped in a cozy, warm pool of water. A good soak was what Lucky needed at this time. Lucky was a wolf… a large, calm, strong, easy going wolf. He dwarfed the size of a lot of his friends, being much taller than a typical anthro guy. His usual attire of blue overalls and his nice looking fabric hung over a nearby rock. He usually hung out in nature like this after a big job. His garage job of fixing automobiles and odd jobs people assigned him were very draining this time of year. The chillier wind and seasonal time of year made things much more busy than he would have liked.

Lucky’s trademark sensitive nose wiggled as water slid down it. His nose was always noticeable, even while he was relaxing. His nose was large, wide, and had two round, dark, full nostrils that always were visible. His friends knew whenever his nose got twitchy, or sniffy, or scrunchy…it was time to be on alert. Lucky knew this all too well, but he had grown to be use to this type of thing. His nose didn’t bother him, and he rather liked his own nose. Sure it could cause a ruckus every once in awhile, but he wouldn’t have any other nose than his own. It was part of who he was.

The water felt really good for his thick fluffy fur. Unfortunately for him his furry ears picked up a familiar noise and Lucky bared his teeth for a moment before puffing his chest as wide as he could, the surface of the water creating small waves at the sudden change of size his long inhaling breath made. As he exhaled the breath through both nostrils his large dark nose pushed the waves of the water quickly and air visibly stroked all along the hot spring.

“No matter how many times you bug me, I won’t fight you.” A haughty, stubborn, and extremely prideful customer that Lucky had done work for recently was jealous of how strong Lucky was, not to mention how much of a reputation Lucky had built up over the time he had lived here. Lucky was a great citizen and helped plenty of people. The lion wanted the attention Lucky had, and was being very pushy about getting it.

Lucky couldn't care less about how popular he was, he just wanted to be himself and live a happy life. The lion just couldn't accept that, and the lion was getting more and more frequent in his attempts to fight Lucky to see who was better.

"Sooner or later, I'll do something that will make you change your mind..." The customer growled and bitterly stomped off. Lucky slunk deeper into the calming warm water and played through his muzzle, inhaling as much as he could and seeing how much he could handle as his furry chest got wider, fuller, and puffier. Bubbles leaked out of both wide, flared, gaping nostrils as his face was completely submerged under the warm water.

Lucky held the puffed, full chest pose for five full seconds before his nostrils couldn't take the tingly sensation of water sliding and swishing against them any longer. Lucky exhaled his puffed breath, generating a forceful stream of air that pushed the water in front of his muzzle so much that a good portion of the hot spring all around Lucky shifted position for a moment until the water made its way back to normal.

"He hee! If it wasn't for one of my newer friends, I never would have considered how much fun and how calming being in water could be. I never was much of a water kind of wolf...I hope Nautilus is doing alright."

Little did Lucky know that the lion hadn't completely left yet. He had hid himself after he had pretended to storm off. The feline thought to himself a devious scheme to make the wolf riled up enough to fight him. Maybe targeting Lucky himself wasn't the way to go...maybe...targeting someone else would make Lucky change his mind. This Nautilus person would do nicely.

Unfortunately for the lion, this plan would literally backfire. He would learn the hard way that it always was a bad idea to get Lucky riled up.

It was sweet having down time in the hot spring, but the tall wolf knew that there would be plenty to do when he got back home, not to mention the encounter with the pushy snob of a customer kind of ruined Lucky's mood. The longer the wolf stayed in the warm water, the more his muzzle twitched and wriggled as droplets of water ran along the ridges his muzzle formed. The wolf puffed his cheeks so fully that he looked like a chipmunk storing nuts. The wide, full dark nose rose higher above the water level because of his puffy cheeks, allowing Lucky enough time to make his twitchy, moving muzzle calm down a little bit.

As soon as the ripple lines disappeared from his muzzle Lucky exhaled 'gently', although with how much air he stored in his puffy cheeks the breeze that came out of his mouth made nearby plants bend and the water surface splashed in front of him. A pink embarrassed blush showed for a brief second before disappearing. He didn't mean to always be full of air...it just happened naturally for the big guy!

Lucky stepped out of the hot spring, shook his fur like the giant canine anthro he was, and the ground thudded as he moved towards his vehicle he had taken to get to this place. His dark nostrils pulsed as he happily took in the scent of his pride and joy...and then he wriggled his entire muzzle as the scent of his vehicle mixed with the scent of fur that didn't belong to him. Someone had been here, and from how fresh the scent of fur was, it was recent.

Lucky's muzzle dipped lower and made contact with the metal of his car. Three rapid inhaling sniffling sounds were heard as the wolf used his natural sense of smell to his advantage. The large dark sniffer bounced as air seeped into each gaping dark nostril, making the padding of his nose tap on the car as it bounced. His car had been sitting out in the open for the entire time, and the metal had been absorbing how the temperature outside was.

His nose didn't like how unnatural the sensation felt, having clear air one moment and then the feeling of metal the next. To make matters even more unfortunate for the big guy, a cloud of gnats had hovered near the car before he had arrived, but when he did come almost all of the gnats flew away...almost all. One tiny individual didn't like the mountain sized figure appear and take away the peaceful mood. This gnat wanted to get the mountain to go away, so the little guy buzzed right for the spot on the 'mountain' that seemed the most vulnerable, the caves that moved in and out. Of course those caves were Lucky's massive sniffling nostrils, and when the gnat used its wings to rapidly beat against the flaring nostril on one sniff, Lucky definitely felt the tickling wings.

"H...a...wah? W-wh...whaa..why n...nw..nwwhh...mm...mpp..." Lucky tried to clench his mouth tightly shut, but his flaring nostrils were too irritated to let Lucky get outta this tickly situation. The nostril rim that the gnat had teased turned a pink color as it begged the nose to further the process of sweet relief. His entire nose quivered, shook, and the more it vibrated in rebellion, the more Lucky couldn't contain his nose's inhaling snuffles. His mouth may have been shut, but for the next twenty seconds as the big wolf tried his best not to lose control of himself, his chest expanded further and further.

"H...Hmmm...MM...MMPPPH...HHPPPHAA..A..." His clenched jaw finally started to have a tiny gap, and as this tiny breakthrough happened, his head tilted back, the tiny gnat flew out of the way, and his chest heaved in a massive puff of new air coming from the opening mouth.

"HAA-AAAAAAAHH...AA-AAA-AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH.........................................................." Lucky's nostrils were now bulging, his muzzle had many scrunch lines, and his chest had grown so much it looked like Lucky was even larger and taller than he usually was. The reason why he held in the urge to sneeze so long was Lucky had to force his legs below the bulging, puffy chest to move. If he had just given in, he would've unleashed one of his infamous sneezes directly on his car! It took immense concentration to even move this little bit, but Lucky succeeded. He had just barely managed to move his legs and step two steps to his right.

That held in gasp of pre-sneeze breath only was ten seconds, but it felt like a tiny eternity for the big wolf. It was so much effort to hold back!!

"HAAAAATTTCCCCHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Bursting wind gushed out of both of his massive flaring cavelike nostrils and the stream of air that also came from his mouth at the exact same moment was like a dose of double trouble. His car may have been spared directly making contact with this windstorm of a sneeze, but his car still ended up rocking visibly from the powerful wind near it. Nearby trees next to his car split apart, grass torn from the ground, and the nearby road sign had been stripped right out from the stakes that had previously held it in place.

One of Lucky's furry paws rose up to his nose and he gave his entire muzzle a good massage, easing the tingly feelings that were lingering along it.

"*sniffle* whew. I gotta be more careful at what's around me when I try to sniff for clues." Lucky sheepishly got into his car and carefully avoided the damage he had caused.

"It's a good thing I'm not a bad guy. I'd cause a lot of trouble with my nose if things were different." Lucky was happy the way he was. He'd never go out of his way to cause harm on purpose! That was his line of thought as he drove towards his home.

While he was doing this, Nautilus had arrived before him. The friendly anthro looked visibly different from anyone else in the entire city. He was a foreigner, a good looking young man that also had...unique traits. For one thing, his tail was incredibly massive and thick compared to almost everyone else here. It wasn't just thick, but noticably curved. It stretched out behind him a long distance, but he always made sure to keep his tail as close as he could so it didn't bother anyone. The end of his tail wasn't furry, but jagged. It had two sharp points to it, but they also spread out in different directions. It was a shark tail, and he himself was a shark anthro. Unlike the movies that typically portrayed his kind, Nautilus was happy, upbeat, and friendly. His eyes had a light color to them that had a brightness that no one would ever associate with a shark. His hair was short but neat, and he had two thin arms while also having a fin pushing out of the back of his shirt.

Nautilus was a great person, and Lucky had given him plenty of opportunity to work. The shark liked his new life here in this place...but not everyone shared Lucky's good nature. Some people in the city were nervous and downright scared of the shark, while others were snobbish and mean spirited. It wasn't a new experience for the shark to be greeted with a shove that made the shark fall flat on his face in the dirt.

"Hey. You. You're Nautilus right?" The shark anthro pulled himself off the dirt and brushed himself off.

"Yessiree I am. I hope I wasn't in your way." He spoke lightly, making sure that he wouldn't offend whoever had shoved him. One thing about Nautilus was he was very submissive, not ever wanting to fight. If he did get in a fighting mood...it wasn't a good thing for himself or anyone near him. Even if he was a friendly shark...he still had dangerous shark tendencies if he was angry.

"Good. Saved me the trouble then."

"Hm? What do you mea-GHH! H-he...hey! Le...let...m-me...g...gg...gaaahhhh......."

"Heh. Much easier to deal with than the big guy himself." Lion fur completely covered Nautilus's neck as even if the lion was stubborn and snobbish, he was sly and clever. He knew from the moment he saw the new person that he was a shark anthro, and he had gills along his neck. As Nautilus tried to fend off the lion's grasp, his movements became more and more sluggish and limp. The lion had massive paws, and while they were covering all around the shark's neck, it got harder and harder to breath. Nautilus's curved nostrils flared, but air didn't seep into them like normal. Air did brush against his nostrils, but if his gills were covered, his nose couldn't breath in naturally. He was being suffocated and the lion knew it.

"Rest easy now." The lion kept his grip firm as the shark struggled less and less. The sound of a car approached and the lion knew who was coming. He let go, and the shark collapsed on the ground, but gasping frantic tight sounds were coming from both his nostrils and his newly freed gills along his neck. The slight puff his chest gave made the lion know that he hadn't gone too far.

"Now then. Let's see how you'll react now Lucky. If this doesn't get you to fight me, I dunno what will. Heh heh heh."

The lion purposely shook his mane, letting strands of hair and dandruff fall on the shark's body. The lion knew about how good of a sniffer the wolf had. It wouldn't take much to know who had done this deed. The lion then dashed away to his own house, retreating so there was no way any authorities would have immediate solid visible proof that he had been there.

Lucky got out of the car, casually walked to open his garage so he could get back to work, but then the big guy paused. That was strange...usually Nautilus always went out of the house to go out to great him. There was no noise at all from the garage, so it wasn't possible that the shark had been in the middle of work.

Using his large nostrils to good use, he sniffed the air multiple times, picking up the scent of his friend. Lucky literally followed his muzzle straight for where his friend was...and when the wolf laid eyes on the gasping, panting shark his pupils tightly glinted as his teeth bared.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?" Lucky bellowed, his legs carrying his tall body really fast, much more than you would expect someone of his size to move. His furry paws tenderly touched Nautilus's skin, and the big wolf lifted up his friend as easily as pulling up a bag of groceries. Lucky was really strong when his adrenaline kicked in. he was a wolf after all.

"Stop caring about everyone else for a second Nauty! Instead of that, what are you doing flat out in the dirt? Did someone hurt you on purpose?" Lucky knew of some of the city's unease towards the shark, but never had anyone gone out of their way to do something like this!

"Yeah...it wa...ha...he...heeh...HTCchho!" Strands of fur flung out of both of Nautilus's curved nostrils. Even his sneeze sounded weaker than normal! Usually they had a stronger sound at the end release part of the sneeze. This weaker sound just made Lucky even more angry.

"S-sorry I sne...sneezed on ya...it was a-"

Lucky sniffed again, making the strands of fur that Nautilus had blown out of his nostrils come up towards the giant dark sniffer. Lucky quickly snorted so the fur wouldn't get sucked up into his nostrils, making the fur dart away from both of them.

"Save your strength Nauty...I know who did this to you. The nose knows."

"H...hehee...you're always right Lucky." The shark smiled at his friend, making the wolf's anger die down just a little bit, enough to where the wolf could smile back at the shark.

"Yep. Hang on a minute."

The wolf took the shark inside, gently tucked him in Lucky's own big bed, and made sure the shark was comfortable. It only took a few seconds for the shark to fall asleep when his shark head made contact with the soft pillow. He had been through a ton today in a very short amount of time. His entire body was exhausted.

Lucky waited until he knew for sure Nautilus was sound asleep. The big wolf didn't want the shark to know what was going to happen next. Lucky stormed to the kitchen, picked up something he knew would come in handy, and then went to his car. His massive paw jammed the key into the ignition and he put the petal to the metal as his furry foot slammed on the gas.

Lucky's car zipped along the roads like it was on fire. A policedog was on duty and was about to pull over the speeder, but as soon as the cop noticed who was behind the wheel they stopped. Lucky had helped fixed their vehicles a bunch of times before. The police could let this slide for once. Besides...Lucky never sped like this before. It must've been an emergency of some kind.

The lion was pacing his room back and forth. This was what he had wanted, a chance to fight the wolf head on. Why now of all times was he nervous? Had he gone too far with this? The shark was obviously a pushover. Surely the shark hadn't reeeaaalllly lost all breath like that. It'd make the lion be a full on criminal! Strangling anyone was an offence...hm? That sound...yes! Finally!

The lion knew the sound of Lucky's car. He eagerly waited for the wolf to come barging in. He waited...and waited...and waited. After a full minute the lion shrugged. Maybe it was just his imagination? If that had been Lucky the wolf certainly would have come in by now.

During that minute the lion failed to realize what was happening beyond the walls of his home. Lucky was standing still, staring at the structure of the house. The big strong wolf was looking at the pillars, the corners, the materials different parts of the house were made of. Finally he picked a spot that he knew was weaker than the other parts of the house. Lucky made certain his muzzle was facing directly on that spot.

"The story of the 3 little pigs always rubbed me the wrong way...but...I knew the story had a lot of truth in it. You'll learn the truth of that story the hard way. I'll huff...and I'll puff...and I'll blow your house down!"

The big wolf made certain that his voice carried louder on that last sentence. The lion heard that, and as the lion's head poked out of a window he looked and saw his home's demise.............in the form of a little black shaker.

"Gah! W-wait! Don't YOU DARE DO IT!"

"........You should follow your own advice. You crossed a line attacking my friend. You attacked him." Lucky's big, massive body was trembling with anger as he said those words. The lion gulped, knowing that he had gone too far. That was why he had nerves earlier...and now he was gonna get what was coming to him.

The house's demise rose up. The shaker was seen hovering in front of Lucky's nose for a brief second. Then the wolf tapped the shaker. Once...twice...three times...

Each tap made a puffy puff of dark specks come out of it. Each puff seeped into one of the two huge, massive, very flared sniffly nostrils. Visible streams of air got sucked along with the peppery specks.

Four times tapped...five times tapped...then the paw holding the shaker started to shake as the sensation of pepper was beginning to overtake all of Lucky's body.

"Hh...hhhhuu...huuuhhhh..." The chest began to puff...and the big wolf definitely started to huff. His chest began to bulge, expand, and take in more and more air. With each puffing inhale his chest got wider and fuller. His overalls began to stretch as they were reaching their limit. Fur began to push out of the straps of the overalls as Lucky's body continued to expand more.

"AA...AAhh...HAAhhhhhh..." These new hitching breaths made Lucky's paw lose control of the shaker. Instead of tapping it lightly, his paw shook so much that now the shaker was continually leaking out pepper with each shake his paw did. It looked like tiny clouds of pepper were hovering around the entire muzzle before the clouds were sucked in, only to be replaced with another dose of dark clouds at the next shaking movement his paw made.

"HAAAAA...AAAAHHHHHh...HHAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH..."

Even if Lucky was rightfully furious at the lion, he still didn't want to harm the lion directly. He was holding in his sneeze as long as possible on purpose. If the lion had any shred of intelligence, he would run away from the inevitable incoming disaster that was about to be unleashed from two bulging, flared, very itchy shapes.

The lion hated this. He knew how powerless he truly was in this situation. Everyone in the city knew of Lucky's sneezes, and there had been rumors about just how powerful his sneezes could get, but as far as the lion knew no one in the city had seen anything like this before. The lion had held his ground, but at the final long hitching breath the king of beasts had finally stripped the last shred of pride he had vanish at the sight of just how itchy and huge those flared nostrils had become.

The tall feline screamed like a rooster and booked it out of his back door. Lucky heard this and knew it was time to have sweet relief.

His chest huffed three times, one strap of his overalls snapped at just how puffy his chest had grown from so many large inhaling breaths, and the final pre-sneeze hitching motions came to be.

The giant sneeze would've made the big bad wolf himself proud. The house made of stone and brick and wood got the brunt of the wind of the sneeze slam into the right corner of the house, the blast of wind made the pillar support crack, then completely break, and the continuing push of wind made the damaging strong force continue throughout the house. Room after room the wind from the sneeze made contact with, and the poor walls of each room stood no chance at the power that this pepper sneeze had unleashed. Windows, carpet, furniture, and every other thing inside the house was hit by this sneeze's pressure, and the house couldn't withstand the impact. The roof was the final piece of the puzzle to get ruined and this caused all of the house to fall onto itself. There wasn't anything left undamaged, the home was completely desimated.

"...*sniffle* wow! That was a big one, even for me. You did good." Lucky was somewhat proud of his nose for just how well it had done its natural purpose. Like when he was in the hot spring, he rather liked his nose, even when it did get sneezy.

The lion stood from afar, horrified and shaken at the sight in front of him. How on Earth could he have even thought to fight this guy when just a sneeze could do something like this? Lucky was the bigger, stronger, and better person than he was.

"You beat me."

"It wasn't about beating you. It never was about that." Lucky turned to walk away, continuing to rub one of his furry fingers along the dark nose. "You hurt my friend and I couldn't stand it. Wolves protect our packs. Nautilus is part of my pack. Stay away from him and you are hereby banned from my garage. Get vehicle help somewhere else."

With that Lucky drove off, and that was the last time anyone had messed with Nautilus.

Ah, I saw this one on DA! He may not be as active as he used to be, but he's still an awesome writer! Love the story, the buildup, the itch, and the sneeze of destruction XD My favourite parts are the car sneeze and the end one. I also really like his use of various sneeze-inducers.
